I was born a few houses away from Buddy's Pizza on Conant St. ... ground zero for the Detroit style pizza. At Buddy's they add two strips of sauce AFTER cooking. Makes a big difference because if the sauce isn't protected by the cheese, like in most other styles, you'll be eating twice-cooked sauce. Not many know this secret and I hope you give it a try.

[@earhearthush-up5549]

The other solution to this is just NOT to cook the sauce before putting it on the pizza!! This is actually normal for most pizza places, most places maintain acidity of the sauce by making it from uncooked crushed canned tomatoes

Reminds me when I was a kid on the Northside of Detroit in the 70's and 80's. Dad would cash his check from Dodge Trucks at Mr.C's pizza then we'd grab a box and head home for Friday Night Pizza with a bunch of 50 cent VHS tapes for the night from the local video store. I miss Detroit Style, but this gives me the inspiration to make it at home. Thanks Chef Tom!

You should give South Shore Bar Pizza from Massachusetts a try. Similar in that it's cooked in a pan and has the crusty edges (lacing as the locals call it.) Big difference is a heavy use of cheddar and sauce up to the edges to help with the char. Great content as always Chef Tom.

[@allthingsbbq]

It is a great pizza for sure, appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching!

[@Oddzilla51]

Detroit Style is the best! I grew up a few miles from the original Buddy's and from Loui's (one of Buddy's pizza cooks opened it) so it was plentiful in our household! Try this next time... The original style is to build the pizza but cook it without the sauce. That's right. :) When it comes out, spoon heated up sauce on afterwards in a couple of strips without covering the whole pizza with it.

[@garysalwin5728]

Still dining at Loui's!

[@StevenD215]

Seems like a whole can's worth of tomatoes is too much, is that right? How about the height of the base? I have a place nearby that does Detroit style but the base is easily twice as high compared to Chef Tom's. I'm not a fan of that much dough, so I wanted to know what was normal or authentic. Thanks!

[@garytman007]

@Steven D I make this also, and mine comes out the same thickness as Chef Tom's. I have seen other KZbinrs make this pizza as well and some of them use an excessive amount of dough. I'm not going to mention names, but one that I watched looked like a huge pizza bread lol. It honestly looked ridiculous.

[@Oddzilla51]

Steven D, that sounds like a lot of dough. 3/4 to an inch thick is usually pretty good for what I've had over the years.

Chef Tom, love your channel! I have used many of your recipes from chicken to turkeys. I have many of your seasonings. I’ve lived in Michigan all my life and I live 4 miles from a buddies pizza which is considered the holy grail of detroit style pizza. Yours looked mouth watering. I have worked in 4 different pizzerias growing up. All have which made deep dish Detroit style. I make many Detroit style at home on my Kamado Joe, I just ordered a new black stone pizza oven to test the deep dish detroit style. Anyway, the cheese should be 75% Wisconsin brick and the other 25% mozzarella. We definitely use lots of olive oil, you are correct on that. Those small pepperoni are the key. Not hating just wanted to show you some love! Keep up the great videos! Much love from Michigan! 🍕

[@garytman007]

Great video! I have been making all different types of pizzas for a couple years now and my favorite is Detroit style! Good idea using bigger and thinner style pepperoni directly on the crust. I was using too many thick cut pepperoni and was causing a separation of the cheese and dough. So the pepperoni never had a chance to cook only to release the oils causing this separation. This is the first time this happened because I usually use thin pepperoni and thick sliced on the top. I also slice my brick cheese in 8 long slices and place at an angle toward the pan and cover the middle with provolone, and finish with mozzarella as you did! I used olive oil in my pan before, now using butter flavored crisco. The bottom of your pizza looked beautiful! I use those Lloyd metal pans for mine and also bake at 500° F. The only thing I do differently now is when it comes to the sauce, I don't add any sugar at all. I use one Tbsp tomato paste and 15-20 minutes of simmering brings out the tomatoes' natural sugars. I really liked the way that came out in that cast iron, I may want to purchase a square one now. I make all my deep dish pizzas in them at 450 for 45 minutes. Awesome stuff and thank you! You have yourself a new subscriber now!

[@michaelparsons541]

@Garytman I noticed that you mentioned using Cisco, will that help with the sticking? I just followed this recipe and had major problems with pizza sticking to the bottom. Any suggestions would be appreciated

[@garytman007]

Hey sorry I just saw this! I stopped using crisco oil and now use avocado oil and generously grease those square pans! I also par bake my dough for 5 minutes before any toppings go on. I lightly separate the dough from the pan at this stage. This will ensure that after the pizza is done it will release from the sides way easier! I hope this helps you. If you are using cast iron and it is well seasoned, you will not have to worry about it sticking at all!
